Explanation

Intravenous injection or infusion for a newborn or infant (birth to under 2 years). From age 2, the code is G379.
What it covers
G376 is an intravenous injection or infusion for a newborn or infant (J55). In the Schedule a newborn is from birth up to and including 28 days of age, and an infant is from 29 days up to, but not including, 2 years (GP2). From age 2, bill G379 (J55, GP2).
It also applies to cryoprecipitate infusion (J55).
Billing rules
- Injections into an IV apparatus that is already established can't be claimed; G381 is the only exception (J55).
- Not claimable with x-rays; the Schedule treats it as included in that service (J55).
- Marked (+): when the IV is the sole reason for the visit, add G700, once per patient per day however many (+) procedures are done (J3, J55).
- G700 is not payable in hospital, and is paid at 15% of its fee for patients enrolled to a capitation-based group (J3).
- One of the procedures eligible for the after-hours procedure premiums when non-elective: E409/E410, or E412/E413 for an emergency department physician billing H-prefix codes (GP103–GP104).
Often billed with
- A007 well baby care or A003 the same day; procedures are payable in addition to an assessment (J3).
- Immunizations such as G840, G842 or G846 at the same visit, each under its own code, with at most one G700 per day (J3, J54).
